ICTChris Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 A few years ago my wife lost some weight by following a low carb diet. It’s obviously only one way to lose weight and won’t work for everyone and lots of low carb advocates are barmy but it really worked for her. One thing that was interesting was the reaction of her mother, who reacted to someone losing weight while eating meat like a Labrador that’s just been shown a card trick. She just assumed that diet meant low fat and was perplexed by it not being like that. In a related way she also buys vegan food unnecessarily. She is convinced that vegan = healthy. She bought me a vegan birthday cake one year. I can’t think of any reason why a vegan chocolate cake would be better for your health than a regular chocolate cake. I also just don’t like the taste of a lot of the substitute food, I’m not sure what component it is that leaves a funny aftertaste but it’s something I find with most vegan food I taste. one of our close friends is vegan and we try to go to vegan restaurants when she stays with us and I enjoy eating at them but the everyday stuff isn’t something I could eat regularly, just in grounds of taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 4 hours ago, NotThePars said: I think it makes sense to have vegan substitutes for lots of reasons but one is when you’re transitioning from a meat based diet to a plant one and you’re no confident at cooking then it’s easy to just switch out the real stuff for the fakes. Do you slice your roast beef a bit thinner while transitioning? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there’s anything wrong with them but it’s nice to have a choice. If you find yourself annoyed by a display of products in a supermarket, just walk away, stand in the real meat aisle and take some deep breaths. Don’t worry. They’re not going to take your precious bacon away. ha ala Athletico Mince and Slaughterhouse.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonsrock Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 At work where someone sends you an email asking a question and then someone else (usually a project manager, in fact always a project manager) either forwards the same email to you or replies all within about 30 seconds asking you to respond. Give me a fucking chance to respond before asking again you twat.PTTGOYNProject Managers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I just ate a steak so rare and bloody that it was only slightly above blue. The woke vegan mob won’t take it this away from me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 People who don't complain at the time and instead leave negative feedback once they're out the building. So often the complaint can be easily rectified at the time, instead they put up with it for days and leave a bad review when they get home.Had one tonight complaining that we don't sell hot drinks. We don't sell hot drinks because we provide them for free. Obviously asking a member of staff if hot drinks are available was far too much effort and they just assumed the worst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
